Summary

[edit]
Description
British English: Enamelled metal badge with leather arm straps, one of which is fitted with a buckle, worn during the Second World War by a group leader of the Dutch civil air-raid defence service known as Luchtbeschermingsdienst (LBD), whose main duties were to protect the residents of a particular neighbourhood area against the dangers of air raids, for example by enforcing the night-time blackout, to provide assistance after a raid, and to report bomb damage and casualties. On the badge are the words: plv. blokhoofd L.B. (i.e. plaatsvervangend blokhoofd luchtbescherming), which is Dutch for 'deputy air-raid warden'. Specifications: Black with white lettering, oval-shaped, 10 cm high.
Nederlands: Geëmailleerd, metalen plaatje ('schildje') dat met twee leren riemen aan de arm kan worden gegespt om te worden gedragen door een plaatsvervangend blokhoofd van de Luchtbeschermingsdienst (LBD), wiens belangrijkste taak was de inwoners van een deel van een wijk, aangeduid als een 'blok', te beschermen tegen de gevaren van luchtaanvallen (onder meer door toe te zien op de naleving van de verduisteringsvoorschriften), na een aanval assistentie te verlenen en melding te maken van bomschade en slachtoffers. Op het plaatje staat: plv. blokhoofd L.B. (plaatsvervangend blokhoofd luchtbescherming). Specificaties: Zwart met witte belettering, ovaalvormig, 10 cm hoog.
